IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TV Installation
If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• Using stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting
furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support the weight of the TV. In order to maintain stability
and prevent it from falling over, secure the TV to a wall using a sturdy tie to the clip on the back of the table
top stand.
This unit has been produced according to all current safety regulations. The following safety tips should safeguard users
against careless use and the dangers related to such use.
• Although this unit has been carefully manufactured and rigorously checked prior to leaving the factory as with all electrical
appliances, it is possible for problems to develop. If you notice smoke, an excessive build-up of heat or any other unexpected
phenomena, you should disconnect the plug from the mains power socket immediately.
• Ensure that the unit is suffi ciently ventilated! Never place it
next to or underneath curtains!
• This set should only be connected to an
mains power supply. Do not attempt to connect it to any other
type of supply.
• The socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and
is easily accessible.
• Do not open this unit. An attempt to repair the unit by a
non-expert could be dangerous and potentially cause a fi re
hazard. All repairs must be carried out by qualifi ed service
personnel only.
• Keep away from rodents. Rodents (and also cockatiels)
enjoy biting electric fl exes. They can cause a short circuit
(fi re hazard!) and receive a fatal electric shock.
• Always hold the plug when disconnecting the unit from
the socket outlet. Do not pull on fl ex. The fl ex can become
overloaded and cause a short circuit.
• Use
a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit.
• Set up unit so that no one will trip over the fl ex.
• This unit is recommended to be installed on shock-free
benches in order to avoid any danger from falling.
• Take note that toddlers can pull the unit down from a table or
cupboard by means of its fl ex. Children can hurt themselves
when doing this.
• Do not use the unit near heat sources. The casing and fl ex
could be damaged by the intensity of the heat.
• The screen is made of glass and can break if damage is done
to it. Be careful when collecting sharp edged glass splitters.
• If you intend to wall mount the unit, contact the shop where
you purchased the unit for advice, and leave the installation
work to professionals. Improper installation can cause
damage and/or injuries.
• When installing the set on a wall, allow at least 10 cm
clearance between the rear of the set and the wall. Clearance
of less than 10 cm will obstruct the vents and cause
overheating to the interior of the set, resulting in faults or
damage to the set.
• Taking fall-prevention measures
- If these measures are not taken, the unit can fall and cause
damage and/or injuries.
- Contact the shop where you purchased the unit to obtain
full details of the measures.
• When a TV stand is used,
- Ensure the unit is fully on the stand and placed in the
centre.
- Do not leave the stand doors open. You could be hurt as
a result of the unit falling or breaking, or your fi ngers being
caught or jammed. Take extra precautions if you have
children.
• Avoid placing the unit on any surfaces that may be subject
to vibrations or shocks.
• To protect the unit during a thunder storm, unplug the AC
power cord and disconnect the aerial.
Caution: Do not touch the aerial connector.
• When you leave your home for a long period of time, unplug
the AC power cord for safety.
220-240V AC 50Hz
• The unit becomes warm when in operation. Do not place
any covers or blankets on the unit in order to prevent
overheating.
The ventilation holes should not be blocked. Do not set up
near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine.
• When placing on a shelf, allow at least 10 cm clearance
space around the whole unit.
• The unit shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and
no objects fi lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.
• Liquids spilled into the unit can cause serious damage.
Switch the set off and disconnect the mains power supply,
then consult a qualifi ed service person before attempting to
use the unit again.
• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour
a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops of water
form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture
may condense on this unit’s internal optical pick-up lens, one
of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following situations:
- When you move the unit from a cold place to a warm
place.
- When you use the unit in a room where the heater was
just turned on.
- When you use the unit in an area where cold air from an air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
- When you use the unit in a humid place.
• Never use the unit when moisture condensation may
occur.
• Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may
damage its own internal parts and discs. Connect the power
cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, remove the
disc, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three
hours, the unit will warm up and moisture will be evaporated.
Leaving the TV connected to the wall outlet will help prevent
moisture condensation in the unit.
• Never place hot objects or open fl ame sources, such as
lighted candles or night lights, on or close to the TV. High
temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fi res.
If you decide to wall mount your LCD TV, always use a wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of
the LCD TV:
